The off-white colour is perfect for construction and renovations. It emphasizes natural materials, tradition and matches the local colours from Primorska all the way to Gorenjska.
Lime render finishes and pastel colours
All the traditional built landscapes of our country have something in common: except for the few buildings that showed stone on the facade, all the buildings on our land were plastered with lime. Lime render finishes in neutral or pastel pigmented colours run like a main theme through the Slovenian landscape − from the Adriatic to the Pannonian Plain.
Modern facade paints differ from classic lime render finishes in terms of composition, properties, application method and final effect. They contain various additives to improve properties and, thanks to simple tinting, they exist in a wide rainbow of colours and shades. But some shades are ahead of others: off-white colours.
Regardless of whether you are renovating or constructing a new building, the off-white colour of the facade will complement any place.
Key guidelines when choosing a facade paint
Choosing the right shade can be challenging but keep the wider local environment in mind. Let’s take a closer look.
Consider the local colours:
Primorska
Here, warmer colours are common, such as yellow and red shades, which are in harmony with stone and brick elements. Choose an off-white colour with a warm (yellow, ochre) or blush (red) undertone.
Gorenjska
White shades dominate, emphasizing the freshness and purity of the alpine environment. Choose an off-white in cool (grey) shades.
Prekmurje
The local architecture and landscape are dominated by warm earthy tones that match traditional materials such as loam and wood. Choose an off-white in neutral (beige) or warm (yellow, ochre) shades.
Choosing facade paint is an important part of creating an architectural identity that respects local tradition and natural materials. Off-white shades that are slightly pigmented will be the best choice for a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing look of your home.
